The FINANCIAL — Famine is threatening a number of countries on the African continent and the Arabian Peninsula – Nigeria, Somalia, Yemen and South Sudan – and has already been officially declared in some locations.
In the months to come, more than 1.4 million children could die from malnutrition.
To respond to this humanitarian crisis, the L’Oréal Group, through its Foundation, has chosen to support UNICEF’s work in fighting this famine by making an exceptional donation of €100,000, according to L’Oréal.
UNICEF teams are onsite and operational in each of the affected countries. This donation will provide the children and their families with:
– Mobile services to help them care for and feed themselves
– Medicines and vaccines
– Access to drinking water and sanitation.
Last October, the L’Oréal Foundation also provided financial assistance to UNICEF to help the two million victims of Hurricane Matthew in Haiti, including 900,000 children. These funds helped provide clean drinking water, first aid and temporary schools.
